Extra garda for Kilcullen
The arrival of Gda John Brien, previously attached to Naas, will bring the complement in Kilcullen up to four, with Sgt Mary Mulroe, Gda Joanne O'Sullivan, and Gda Jim Lacey.
The move has been welcomed by Deputy Martin Heydon, who has been working on the issue for some time. "There was a clear need for another garda in Kilcullen, with the closure of Ballymore station," he told the Diary.
The expansion of Garda personnel here also reflects the growth of Kilcullen over the last decade, and the consequent need for enhanced Garda services.
